Lebanon

Here's some very interesting stuff about Lebanon that I didn't know. It comes to us via the Spirit Of America blog.

Beirut may not be the only place in the world where you can find a church and a mosque right next to each other. But it's certainly a more common sight here than anywhere else. No other country has so Christians and Muslims living in the same place that you'll regularly hear both Christian church bells and the muezzin's call to Muslim prayer downtown at the same time.

When I was at the University of New Orleans, I met seveal students from Lebanon. They were wonderful people. One of their parents is Christian and the other was a Muslim. At first, I was surprised b/c I thought it was forbidden in the Middlie East but these two parents found true love.

About Me

I earned a B.A. in Media Arts at Metropolitan State University. I dislike cars and while I have a driver's license, I haven't owned a car for 20 years or so. I get around by bus, LRT, bicycle and walking.
Politically, I've been an independent most of my life, whilst leaning most often toward the Democratic Party, or as we call it in MN, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. But I was very much impressed with President Geo. W. Bush's leadership in the wake of the horrible attacks on America on Sept. 11, 2001. Likewise, I was appalled at what I see as the lack of competence on this issue, coming from the Democrats. So I have become a Republican.

Disclaimer; IMHO, a blogroll should not be as fat as a telephone directory. I wish I could put everyone I like to visit in here.
But I've pared it down in order to have some relevance.P.S. If you are a blogger who has a blogroll as fat
as a telephone book, and pinkmonkeybird is in it,
please don't cut me loose. Please!
